Workers from the troubled Vermont Veterans Home have taken to the streets of Bennington. They hope to enlist community support for what they see as a fight to save the state-run nursing facility.
The Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington will not lose its Medicare and Medicaid funding. After
a six-month struggle to correct a string of violations, a final inspection
completed Wednesday found the home in compliance with federal rules.
